< Psalms 24 >
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.
For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?
4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.
5 He carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O Jacob! (Selah)
Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.
'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.'
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)
